After they left, a faint, bone-piercing chill lingered in the air. Ke Ding's expression was gloomy, his eyes steeped in a dense gloom that could not be dissolved.
Ever since he had been weak, these people had led him step by step into the abyss, manipulating his immortal path while never driving him into a dead end. It was as though they were slowly devouring him, their purpose glaringly obvious.
A contemplative look appeared in his eyes. Immortal River had come... This was the will of the Boundless Myriad Races.
Even during the Celestial River upheaval of those years, matters had not escalated to the point of deploying Immortal River. The wills of the myriad races were not united, yet the wisp of Heavenly Secrets in his hands concerned the ascension of the Three Thousand Great Worlds. He could neither flee nor hide.
He still wanted to give that wisp of Heavenly Secrets to Chen Xun. Since Shi Rong could trust that cultivator, he naturally trusted him as well.
Moreover, Chen Xun cultivated the Forbidden Immortal Dao. This wisp of immortal qi could serve as one of his life-saving trump cards, and he had the strength to contend with the Immortals of the boundless Great World. Ke Ding did not.
How could he not know that the myriad-race Immortals were watching what would become of him? The Five Aggregates Sect would surely suffer an unimaginable, devastating blow in the generations to come. With this wisp of immortal qi's inheritance, they would at least still have a chance to pass on their legacy.
The former Boundless Heavenly Secrets Dao Palace had been just like the Five Aggregates Sect was now. The Heavenly Secrets Dao Palace had endured until today precisely because it possessed the inheritance of this wisp of Heavenly Secrets.
